2017/18From the CEO revenue growth thanks to new games
MAG Interactive Quarterly reportQ2
New games and new opportunities
We are enthusiastic about the continued success of Word Domination after the global launch, which occurred on the very last
day of our previous reporting period. Now with a full quarter of live data, we can confirm over 2 million downloads thus far and
see the growth profile of a potential evergreen game. The current engagement patterns seen in Word Domination indicate that
many players will stay for months or even years, and shows that it could be an important and sustainable IP for MAG in the
long term. More than 500,000 people now play Word Domination on a monthly basis and the growth has been maintained on a
continuous basis.
In June we launched our first game within the “hyper casual” category. Paint Hit, now approaching 20 million downloads, shows
how our product development process continues to produce games that can reach a global mass market. Following this trend,
Paint Hit has reached the number one spot on the casual games download chart in the US Google Play Store, and maintained
that position for more than a month. Outside of the US, Paint Hit has also attracted many players from some of the emerging
markets like Argentina, Brazil and India where we have previously not seen any significant traction for our games, but where
the average monetization per player is also far less than we are used to see from our core markets North America and Western
Europe.
Sequential growth in a seasonally weaker quarter
Historically our fourth quarter (June-August) is the weakest part of the year, as seasonality in game play activity and advertising
CPM levels are less favorable than in other parts of the year. Thanks to the success of our new games, we were nevertheless
able to create sequential growth between our third and fourth quarter. Last year the revenues decreased about 20% between
quarters three and four, whereas this year we managed to grow around 5%.
A large part of our revenues last fiscal year came from WordBrain, and it has been challenging to compensate for the
significantly lower revenue contribution from that franchise. New games typically take time for revenue to grow to a sizable
enough volume, thus the effect of this shift in revenue drivers is still visible during this reporting period. Nevertheless, we are
growing the underlying, non-WordBrain based business, and the pace of revenue decline in WordBrain is significantly lower
now than previous quarters.

2017/18From the CEO Increased focus on multiplayer games
MAG Interactive Quarterly reportQ2
Strong focus on social and multiplayer
Over the years, and specifically during the last few quarters, we have seen solid performances from our classic multiplayer
games Ruzzle and Quiz Duel, and see strong potential in our recently launched multiplayer game, Word Domination. Going
forward MAG will focus our new game development mainly in the multiplayer space, as genuinely social games like these have
generally more player days per player and generate more organic traffic. This results in better profit margins and more stability
versus games that are more dependent on marketing. We believe this will build a more robust revenue profile in our portfolio,
as well as decrease the effects of fluctuations in performance marketing like those we’ve seen impact WordBrain over the last
few quarters. In August we announced that the publishing agreement for the single player game Backpacker has been
terminated, which will enable an increased focus on our internally developed games.
When looking at the overall sales from the portfolio, excluding our biggest single player game franchise WordBrain, we get a
slightly different view of the business. The process of replacing the decline in WordBrain revenues takes some time but the
picture below indicates that we are moving in the right direction.

A data driven business enables good investments
We have a measurable data model based business with strong performance marketing capabilities. The
infrastructure and knowledge built up over the years can now be leveraged to increase the possibility of success
in the new game titles that are the core of our future growth potential.
In multiplayer games we are able to join our strong heritage and experience in the space with robust real time
multiplayer support on mobile, advanced matchmaking algorithms and great game design. These combined will
achieve the best and most engaging player experience for our audience. It is an exciting and inspiring step for
MAG to focus on our proven core to continue building a more predictable, highly social business model and
create a situation where we are less dependent on the marketing of any single game title.
We will also double down on our existing multiplayer games and give the millions of loyal players that have
stayed with us for many years, an even better experience going forward. There is a clear opportunity for us to
create continued growth for these titles through improved content as well as the addition of new game modes
that will entertain the players as well as open up interesting business opportunities.
We are of course not happy with the yearly revenue decline. The way forward is a more diversified portfolio and
an increased focus on strongly social games to improve the stability on a per game basis. Our portfolio today is
significantly more diversified and robust than a year ago and we move forward boosted by our recent game
launches, the bigger and stronger team we have built over the last year, as well as the increased focus on
leveraging our strengths in multiplayer games.

2017/18global launch of Word Domination

MAG Interactive Interim report Q4
May 31, Word Domination launched globally on the App Store, and Google Play
Word Domination received strong support from the editorial teams at Apple and Google and appeared on the front page of their stores in many of the most important markets in North America and Europe, such as USA, England, Germany and France during the launch week. In its first week after launch, Word Domination reached the top 10 in the word game category across 116 countries on the App Store. During the summer Word Domination was picked by Apple as the Game of the Day in the United States, which we see as a great recognition and something we are very proud of.
With over two million downloads and more than 500,000 monthly active players, Word Domination is a strong addition to MAG's game portfolio and we see great potential for continued growth.
Play Word Domination
Word Domination is a modern game with a tactical twist where players challenge each other in a fresh and exciting real-time battle of words. Opponents face off forming words on a shared board to score points in five-round matches. In addition to points granted for each word, as well as bonus tiles that increase the score of any letter or word played on them, players can also collect and play over 40 unique booster cards to supercharge their turn. This tactical element coupled with real time gameplay sets Word Domination apart from other games in the genre and has proven highly popular with players in test markets.
A new evergreen?
Word Domination is an exciting addition to MAG's portfolio and after looking back on and analyzing the just over three months of game data, it all points to that this may be a new evergreen game for MAG where players stay for months and even years. Word Domination has taken multiplayer within word games to a new level with its real-time matches and fits well into a product strategy with a strong focus on products with exceptionally strong long term retention.
2017/18global launch of Paint Hit

MAG Interactive Interim report Q4
June 11th, Paint Hit was launched globally on App Store and Google Play
Paint Hit quickly reached the # 1 spot on the Casual Games list on Google Play in the US after its launch in June and has been gathering players worldwide ever since. With over 15 million downloads since launch, Paint Hit is one of the games in our portfolio that has reached the largest amount of players and the fact that it is in a for us new category shows our ability to successfully adapt both game development and marketing to new trends in the market.
Paint Hit
In Paint Hit players shoot paint balls to color spinning towers over hundreds of increasingly challenging levels. With each paintball throw, players color a part of the tower, making it increasingly difficult to hit uncolored portions with the next attempt. If a shot lands on an area of the tower that they’ve already painted, they lose the round. Additionally, players must face a boss tower every few levels that pushes their accuracy skills to the limit and makes victory taste that much better. Fast-paced, frantic painting fun is balanced out with calming ambient music - perfect for concentrating on that critical clean shot in this super casual game.

KPIs
Distribution of revenues by business model
The Group’s Net sales are distributed primarily between in app purchases (purchases made inside games via the Apple App Store or Google Play) and in app advertising.
The Group's Net sales from In app purchases for the period were 23,709 KSEK (48,183 KSEK), a decrease of 51% compared to the same period the previous year.
The Group's Net sales from In app advertising were 29,984 KSEK (9,729 KSEK), an increase of 208% compared with the same period the previous year.
Contribution from sales activities
Games that are marketed by MAG Interactive have different cost levels in their distribution cost (Sales-related costs) and marketing cost (Performance-based marketing), not least relating to which phase the games are in. The Group therefore reports the total contribution from games activities according to the following model: Net income minus platform-fees and performance-based marketing. Performance-based marketing includes digital advertising and other advertising associated directly with the company’s products, as well as services and charges directly attributable to performance-based marketing. General marketing of the company and brand is not included in the cost of direct marketing.
The Group's contribution from sales activities for the period was 22,849 MSEK (19,001 MSEK), an increase of 20% compared to the same period the previous year.
Comments on the distribution of income and contributions from sales activities
The split in Net sales between In app purchases and In app advertising is changing due to lower sales in the games mostly monetized by In app purchases and the high share of advertising sales in Quiz Duel. Since a couple on months the share of ad revenue is above 50%. The increased contribution is due to the high contribution in Quiz Duel. Contribution from sales activities is up 20% compared to the same quarter last financial year after relatively large investment in marketing for the games Word Domination and PaintHit.

2017/18
Other key indicators
The company monitors its operations according to a number of key performance indicators that reflect how the games industry in general measures its business activities. These indicators are defined as follows;
DAU and MAU are defined as the number of unique daily and monthly users respectively that use one of the company’s products, presented as an average over the period, adjusted for the number of days in the months in the period. Each individual game’s unique users are summed up to present the company’s total unique users.
MUP is the number of unique users who made a purchase in one of the company’s products. A purchase is defined as a purchase in accordance with the above definition of In app purchases and to a value greater than zero. The value is reported as an average value over the three months in the period.
ARPDAU is calculated as the company’s daily average of Net sales during the period divided by DAU. Riksbanken’s average exchange rate per month is used for translation into USD.
The business’s key indicators during the period
DAU for the period 2.8 million (1.6 million), an increase of 73% compared with the same period the previous year.
MAU for the period 15.3 million (7.4 million), an increase of 107% compared with the same period the previous year.
MUP for the period 86.1 thousand (162.0 thousand), a decrease of 47% compared with the same period the previous year.
ARPDAU for the period 2.4 cent (4.7 cent), a decrease of 49% compared with the same period the previous year.
comments to the KPIs
During the quarter the total DAU was 2.8 million and corresponding for MAU was 15.3 million. This is equivalent to an increase of 73% and 107% respectively compared to MAG Interactive same period previous year. The relatively big difference between the increase in MAU and DAU relates to the comparably low number of play days of the large audience in PaintHit.
MUP was 86 thousand. MAG Interactive games had a lower conversion compared to previous year due to a the higher share of organic users, and relates also to the fact that the business model is relying more on ads than inapt purchases in the quarter. The conversion to payer in the games from FEO Media is lower due to the main monetization being advertising.
The average sales per user (ARPDAU) decreases compared to the same period last year due to the lower average sales per user in games from FEO Media, mostly due to Quiz Duel.
